‘He insulted my family, and I will not take it from anyone, since they have won now, and he is now full of himself’: Porto manager Sergio Conceicao says he will charge Arteta in court for what happened yesterday.

In the aftermath of Arsenal’s dramatic penalty shootout victory over Porto in their Champions League last-16 encounter on Tuesday, Porto manager Sergio Conceicao has accused Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta of directing insulting remarks towards his family during the tense affair at the Emirates Stadium.

The highly anticipated clash ended in a 1-1 draw on aggregate, with Arsenal ultimately prevailing 4-2 on penalties, securing their berth in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in over a decade.

As emotions ran high amidst the nail-biting encounter, tensions boiled over, culminating in a heated exchange between the two managers at the conclusion of the match.

Conceicao alleges that Arteta, during the heat of the game, directed derogatory comments towards his family in Spanish, prompting a visceral reaction from the Porto coach. In response to Arteta’s alleged remarks, Conceicao conveyed his dismay, emphasizing the gravity of the situation by revealing that the individual insulted by Arteta is no longer alive.

When pressed on the incident during his post-match press conference, Arteta opted for a terse response, stating “No comment,” thereby refraining from addressing the allegations leveled against him.
